It's a tiger... it's a zebra... it's an Alocasia zebrina. This houseplant will bring a little of the rainforest into your home with its zebra/tiger-like striped stems. The stripes in this variety are a little more prominent than the Reticulata. With this Alocasia's small height and need for warmth, humidity, indirect light, and low water, it can be successfully grown indoors. Please note that elephant ears' attributes and colors become more defined when they mature.

• Height when mature: 2-3 feet
• Light: Bright but indirect
• Soil: Rich, well-drained
• Water: Moist but not soggy, allow top layer to dry out slightly before watering.
• Zones: 9-11

Pet Friendly? No

USDA Grow Zones 9-11

Water Req's Medium

Light Req's Bright, filtered

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

Tiny plant with no chances of survival

Received a tiny plant of 2 leaves, it's been struggling under perfect conditions. I ordered 2 plants and neither are good. Would like a refund.

I bought a Zebrina. The packaging was well intended. Too much room in box to keep plant from moving around and being a little beat up. Overall, I'm happy with it. I will order from these people again.
